Six Sigma Training has received considerable attention in the public press.  Much of this discussion has been fueled by the huge successes of Six Sigma at Allied Signal, General Electric (GE) and Motorola. These successes have encouraged many other companies to undertake Six Sigma initiatives. Clearly, any application of statistical thinking and methods that produces billions of dollars for major corporations is important, cannot be ignored and is not likely to go away anytime soon.

Six Sigma is a quality management program used to measure and improve the operational performance of a company by identifying and fixing defects in the company's product/processes.

Originally, Six Sigma started out strictly as a process variation that would produce no more than 3.4 defects per million opportunities. However today, Six Sigma is basically the art of producing a product that satisfies the customer in the most cost economical way.
